As I mentioned in
http://www.w3.org/mid/20081214194843.GA12253@pickering.dbaron.org ,
we need to be careful here if we want such a solution to be
forwards-compatible with also addressing direction-independence for
vertical text flow. In particular:
background-position: top start;
doesn't make sense when the writing direction is tb-lr (where top
and start are the same), so if we're introducing start and end, we
may also want to introduce before and after.
Additionally, as I mentioned, this may not be all that useful
without the ability to flip images.
